Susquehanna University Artist Series: Vienna Boys Choir
to
Susquehanna University Degenstein Center Theater, Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania 17870
Boys have been singing at Vienna’s Imperial Chapel since 1296. Over the centuries, the Viennese Court attracted musicians like Mozart, Salieri and Bruckner. Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choristers. Today, touring is part of the chorister’s education. Since 1926, the Vienna Boys Choir has embarked on 1,000 tours in 97 different countries. There are currently 100 choristers between the ages of 9and 14, divided into four touring choirs. They give around 300 concerts each year, attended by nearly half a million spectators around the world.
Price: Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and $5 for non-Susquehanna students.
